Celebrating the good times of 2019 while reflecting on past failures with the topic “Failing Up: Fast Learnings”. In collaboration with creative agency 180Kingsday, join us for an evening of short stories on failure.

We’ll hear from five women from across the creative industries about a memorable #fail and ask what, if anything, they learnt from it.

This event is a celebration of things that go wrong and a reminder that it happens to us all. Over mulled wine and holiday festiveness, we’ll take away some shared wisdom and new friends with a variety of creative backgrounds into 2020.
